[Bosnianblood69]

So just tested my waters and
Cal-550
Alk-7.7
Mg-1,340
Sal-1.024
Wondering what you guys think? Too high? What you guys keeps yours at?

 

[bribo12]

Calcium is high but otherwise they seem fine. My reef is
Calcium-450
Alk-9.0 dKh
Mag-1450

 

[Bosnianblood69]

Thats pretty normal compared to mine almost perfect, whats your salanity? What salt you use?

 

[bribo12]

Reed parameters

1.026 and I use Red Sea coral pro. Your numbers are fine. My alk used to stay around 8 when I used reef crystals.

 

[Bosnianblood69]

I use oceanic i would like mine to be more like yours, my corals arent growing that fast either, you have pics of your tank?

 

[bribo12]

Yeah, ill post them. Um I've heard good things about corallife salt as well. What kinda corals do you have?

 

[Bosnianblood69]

Right now mostly softies and lps but i wanna go into sps i have a couple right now but not alot

 

[bribo12]

Test your premade sw to see what it is at. Then if that always tests like that maybe switch to a different salt mix

 

[Bosnianblood69]

I mean theres nothing else it could be coming from right?

 

[bribo12]

Most likely that's just how that salt mixes. It can vary from bath to batch too though

 

[Bosnianblood69]

Why couldnt this be alot easier?

 

[bribo12]

Lol I mean your numbers aren't bad by any means. That's fine for your corals. Lps in general grow slowly.

 

[Bosnianblood69]

It just seems too high?

 

[bribo12]

Yeah definitely test your next batch you make.
